Doctors save lives every day, but as in any profession, there are a few bad apples. The manslaughter conviction of Michael Jackson's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray inspired this list of horrible doctors. For example, there's Dr. Prabir Kumar Ghosh, who had a perfectly logical explanation for working while drunk:

A doctor in India was arrested recently when he showed up drunk for his emergency room shift. It may not have been the first time he knocked back a few before turning up for work: local complaints said that he's been drunk on the job for years. Dr. Prabir Kumar Ghosh admitted he was intoxicated but said he had his reasons, one of which was that he was simply trying to relieve his joint pain. If only he could've gotten to a hospital for proper treatment, then this whole problem could've been avoided and... oh, wait. Never mind.
